I have asked the question on a different thread but thought I'd ask again. Sorry to keep banging on about it.

Can any Absolut or Max Max owners please confirm the following:

1 - what year is your Absolut / Max Max?
2 - does it have a rear disc brake?
3 - how is the rear disc brake caliper attached to the frame?

I purchased a 2008 Max Max a while ago, and although it had been upgraded from standard spec it still had v brakes and rigid forks. I have since bought a set of Dmr DV disc wheels and DJ3's, and have some old juicy 3's I can stick on it but haven't got an adaptor for the rear.

I have spoken to Real Cycles who say they can no longer get hold of one.

Do later models (2009+) have a different set up for the rear disc brake?
If not I don't understand why they don't exist anymore!!?

Does anyone have any idea what I could do to resolve the situation?
I know its a long long long shot, but does anybody have a spare? Will pay good money for one!

Your help would be really appreciated.

can you post a picture of the fitting? I've just put some new forks on my 06/7 and have a brake adapter for the front... it might work

This is the adaptor:



This is the fitting on the frame:



This is how it should look when installed:

so you want this then -

Suprised if Steve couldnt get one of them?!
They appear t be in stock direct from Commencal
Service from them is usually very good, about a week delivery from France. Postage can be expensive though so may as well treat yourself to some TShirts etc from the sale as well

That is the bugger! 

Cheers mate!

Blimey, didn't realise they would be so expensive, it's gonna end up costing me nearly £50!

Both my 08 alu absolut and my 09 cromo used that adaptor.
